Wandering 'Round my World
2013
60" x 38"

The first thing you notice in "Wandering 'Round my World" is the pleasant interplay of the free floating circles with textured surfaces below. The circles are neatly finished with mini-piping for a nice smooth & rounded edge. They hang over the edges of the rectangles and some peek playfully below. Each circle is filled with detailed, turned edge floral appliques that poof up from the flat background like trapunto. The decorative machine stitches and hand beading give the traditional applique shapes a sleek and modern look. The heavily detailed quilting on the background sections adds unique texture and appeal. The blues & greens, with hints of purple, seem to float effortlessly around the piece and draw the viewer in for a closer examination of the fine detail work.
